Major League Baseball appears to be one step closer to expanding to new cities after last week's news that the Oakland Athletics are planning to move to Las Vegas.
The Music City Baseball group, led by businessperson John Loar, has been networking in Nashville for several years. The group has added celebrity investors in addition to former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and other Nashville business leaders.
Initially, the group zeroed in on the east bank of the Cumberland River as a possible site for a new ballpark. But with the Titans' project on the precipice of approval, that location doesn't seem to be an option. Music City Baseball has also had discussions with Tennessee State University about land near the campus.Music City Baseball member Dave Stewart, a former MLB pitcher, tells Axios the group remains "committed to bringing a majority-minority owned franchise to Nashville that focuses on diversity and inclusion."There are major obstacles to Music City Baseball's chances of bringing MLB here.
